First Friday cruise in of the season. Met up with David @Cornpanzers Riv and his beautiful “new” 63. Good times.
-
I hear ya. I sent them to Advanced plating in Tennessee for exactly that reason. Mike Fulp there has been very helpful so far and excellent communication. Fingers crossed, probably won’t have them back for Lexington unfortunately.
-
I’ll have a spare set once mine come back from chrome. I ended up cutting my originals as they were in better shape, less pits, than the power vent ones I had. Those weren’t from Steve, I got everything but the plates from him. I’m running those until the fresh ones come back in 5 months 😳

Ed, I just bought a complete power vent set up with harness from Steve Lorenzen. You might see if he has something for you. Brian

Rivieras and Riviera parts for sale on local Craigslist, eBay, etc.

Ed makes a good point. The GS specific caps were standard with the option. Obviously most opted for road wheels but maybe you could option the wire caps too. This white one at the Mcacn show had them too. -
New to Rivieras...looking to get my first...starting research

Yes, 6’4”, no problems with the 71’s. Moved the 65 back 3”. All good. More room in the boat tails overall. Brian -
Yeah, good idea. I’ll keep one for that too. 😁
-
Haha. Thank you. Not quite yet but I certainly was thinking about it. I ordered some extras and they arrived today so I’m sure it won’t be long. ✌🏻
-
All that said, @Cornpanzers Riv silver 63 has a beautiful red leather interior in it. Great combination too.
-
That spruce green/silver would be stunning. I love the silver interiors too. My dad had a silver /silver vette when I was about 5. I seriously thought about having Clark’s make me some 65 covers in silver.
-
K13 thank you. I never thought I’d have a set either but they popped up and were priced very fair so ya never know. Definitely check out the true spokes. Hope they work out. ✌🏻
-
That’s a neat one. Congrats 👍
-
Welcome and I’m completely on board with that. 😎 they might be difficult to source in Canada, but to me the quintessential wheel for a mid 60’s mild custom are Skylarks ✨I’ve found 2 sets on marketplace. So keep your eyes open. I love the road wheels and turbines too. Good luck with your search and post some pics of your car. Join the ROA too. Lots of help here. Brian

Ed’s correct, there is no repro 5x5 road wheels for the full size cars. Only the A body, skylark/GS 4 3/4 Buick rally’s.

Couldn’t be happier with the feature in the Riview. Ray & co did a fantastic job. Honored to help kick off the ROA’s 40th year. The previous owners wife still maintains his membership and was so surprised to see his picture in there. Made my day when they reached out to me today. 😁 Happy New Year to everyone.

Those are neat. I like the silver 64 too

Car looks great in the new RIVIEW! Thank you! We’re excited, Ray did a great job with it.

Clear gorilla glue is what I used after mine lifted in the summer temps with the 3m. No problems since.

There were some beautiful Wildcats there too. Several with 4 speeds. Ted Nagel brought 4. Andy Starr brought the red 63.
